Weaning
I started weaning Imogen when she was almost 6 months old. We experimented with different foods and textures which made weaning really enjoyable and a good way to introduce Imogen to new flavours.
Each day I’d give Imogen a teaspoon or two of pureed organic carrots or pureed organic pears which are very gentle on a baby’s tummy. I always try to use organic produce for the benefit of my family’s health.

Imogen has the East Coast Multi Height Highchair and I highly recommend it. It’s made of solid wood and grows with your child, becoming a chair which is suitable for use for children up to the age of 10 years old. When I introduced baby led weaning it was great to use the tray table as a large plate to lay out the assortment of foods for Imogen to try.
Some of my favourite no-cook baby foods are mashed banana and mashed avocado. Banana’s are easy to digest, sweet to taste and provide slow release sugars for sustained energy. Avocados are full of nutrients and help to boost the immune system as they contain the antioxidant vitamin E.

East Coast Multi Height Highchair

I was looking for a highchair that looked good, had a simple and sturdy design, was made from solid wood and had a large tray table.
And I wanted a highchair that would convert into a chair so we could use it at the table when my baby no longer needed to use the highchair.
After much research I bought the East Coast Multi Height Highchair and I’m extremely happy with my decision.
I also bought the East Coast Highchair Insert in Watermelon which provides padding for young babies from 6 months of age. This can easily be removed when your baby no longer needs padding with the chair.
The East Coast Multi Height Highchair looks fantastic in our kitchen diner and Imogen loves it.
As it’s made from solid wood it is very stable and easy to wipe clean.
